HOW IT WORKS

From idea to gathering in minutes.

1
Create & invite
Pick a type, add the date, place and details, then invite by email. Everyone you invite gets a sign-in code to view and RSVP.
2
Everyone responds
Guests RSVP going, maybe, or can’t — and sign up for what to bring, the gear to pack, or the rides to share.
3
Coordinate & enjoy
Track progress at a glance, send reminders, chat in one thread, and get notified the moment things change.
EVERYTHING INCLUDED

The coordination, handled for you.

Whether you’re hosting or just along for the ride, Hostably keeps everyone on the same page.

Passwordless sign-in
No passwords to forget. Enter your email, get a 6-digit code, you’re in.
RSVPs & roster
Going, maybe, or can’t — with live counts, a full roster, and dietary restrictions surfaced to hosts.
Dish & gear sign-ups
Set categories with quotas; guests claim exactly what to bring so nothing’s doubled or missed.
Meals & carpools
For trips: a per-day meal planner and carpools with offer-or-join seat limits.
Secret matching
Secret Santa draws names automatically — each person only ever sees who they gift to.
Private by invite
Events are visible only to the people you invite. A live thread, reminders, and push keep everyone in sync.
